Abstract (en)

The refractive-index value is obtained by radially scanning a near-field image of the fibre output face (3) and by computing, for each image point, the ratio between a first intensity value, obtained in the presence of a mask (6), having transmittivity proportional to the fourth power of the transversal beam coordinate and located in a far-field plane, and a second intensity value, obtained in the absence of such a mask. An automated measurement apparatus for implementing the method is also provided.
